The drawings were then engraved to the highest standards, in this instance by the Dalziel Brothers. Carroll appears to have ordered many expensive! The final stage in the reproduction process was to make copper-plated printing blocks from the wood-engravings, using them as masters.
The copper plates did wear, and had to be re-made several times as well, amongst others for the edition. Because of the difficult process of creating wood-blocks involved, sometimes concessions had to be made as to the overall design of the illustration. For example, a character might be moved into a different position — which probably happened with the ape in the illustration of the Dodo with the thimble.

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , is a story about a curious girl who falls down a rabbit hole and discovers a magical, nonsensical world. Read by millions of children and adults alike around the world, this iconic book has been translated into at least 97 different languages and continues to be published in various forms. From Sir John Tenniel to Arthur Rackham and Margaret Tarrant , this book has had many artists interpret the classic story with unique illustrations.
The origins of the story began when Carroll went on a boat ride down the Thames with three young girls - Alice, Lorina and Edith Liddell who encouraged Carroll to tell them a story. He continued the story on other outings with the Liddell children and eventually started to write it down.
Two years later, the story of Alice was published. The original manuscript which was called Alice's Adventures Under Ground was illustrated by Carroll but when it went to print, he thought a professional artist should be responsible for the illustrations.
Sir John Tenniel, a well-known artist at that time, worked closely with Carroll and provided the first illustrations for the book. However, when the book was sent to be published, Tenniel rejected the first print run due to the quality and a different version was released in December From the hookah-smoking caterpillar to the grinning Cheshire cat, the perpetually late white rabbit, the maniacal mad hatter and the foul tempered monarch as well as the beloved Alice, all of these characters continue to enthrall readers of all ages.
